"such as mouse-traps, and the moon, and memory, and muchness"
"Once upon a time there were three little sisters,' the Dormouse began in a great hurry; `and their names were Elsie, Lacie, and Tillie; and they lived at the bottom of a well--"
"`Then you should say what you mean,' the March Hare went on.
`I do,' Alice hastily replied; `at least--at least I mean what I say--that's the same thing, you know.'"
"much of a muchness"
"`Your hair wants cutting,' said the Hatter."
"I'LL soon make you dry enough!'
This is the driest thing I know. Silence all round, if you please! "William the Conqueror, whose cause was favoured by the pope, was soon submitted to by the English, who wanted leaders, and had been of late much accustomed to usurpation and conquest. Edwin and Morcar, the earls of Mercia and Northumbria--"'
"Then she went to work nibbling at the mushroom till she was about a foot high: then she walked down the little passage: and THEN--she found herself at last in the beautiful garden,"
"`Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin,' thought Alice; `but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever say in my life!'"
"`By-the-bye, what became of the baby?'"
"`Did you say pig, or fig?'"
"Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad.'
`I call it purring, not growling,' said Alice."
"I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I've got to?' (Alice had no idea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but thought they were nice grand words to say .)"
"`If you knew Time as well as I do,' said the Hatter, `you wouldn't talk about wasting IT. It's HIM.'
`Of course you don't!' the Hatter said, tossing his head contemptuously. `I dare say you never even spoke to Time!'"
"Mine is a long and a sad tale!' said the Mouse, turning to Alice, and sighing.
`It IS a long tail, certainly,' said Alice, looking down with wonder at the Mouse's tail; `but why do you call it sad?'"
"`No room! No room!' they cried out when they saw Alice coming. `There's PLENTY of room!'"
"`Not the same thing a bit!' said the Hatter. `You might just as well say that "I see what I eat" is the same thing as "I eat what I see"!
"Alice said with some severity"
"`Dear, dear! How queer everything is to-day!'"
"`I've had nothing yet,' Alice replied in an offended tone, `so I can't take more.'
`You mean you can't take LESS,' said the Hatter: `it's very easy to take MORE than nothing.'"
"`Curiouser and curiouser!' cried Alice"
"`Oh, my poor little feet, I wonder who will put on your shoes and stockings for you now, dears? I'm sure _I_ shan't be able! I shall be a great deal too far off to trouble myself about you: you must manage the best way you can; --but I must be kind to them,' thought Alice, `or perhaps they won't walk the way I want to go! Let me see: I'll give them a new pair of boots every Christmas.'"
"`I had NOT!' cried the Mouse, sharply and very angrily.
`A knot!' said Alice, always ready to make herself useful, and looking anxiously about her. `Oh, do let me help to undo it!'"
The Rabbit constantly repeating the words---
"`Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!'"
"`For the Duchess. An invitation from the Queen to play croquet.' `From the Queen. An invitation for the Duchess to play croquet.'"
`I do,' Alice hastily replied; `at least--at least I mean what I say--that's the same thing, you know.'"
This is the driest thing I know. Silence all round, if you please!
